Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 2550010, member: 153"] Thompson & Co. are talking about how Temple still has a chance for NCAAs if they can go 7-3. They are 10-10 and 2-6 in conference. Why do they have a chance? Because of their tough schedule. UConn at 11-9 and 4-3 has no such hope. But Temple has played Auburn, Villanova, Clemson, South Carolina, Georgia, Old Dominion. No tougher a schedule really than Auburn, Villanova, Arkansas, Michigan St., Arizona, Oregon, Syracuse. If anything you can argue that UConn had a tougher OOC. But to Temple's credit, they have big wins over Auburn and Clemson. UConn's Oregon win is equivalent to beating South Carolina. But Temple has big losses to Tulane and UCF. Obviously, with Temple's talent and tonight's win, they are a much more viable candidate to go on a run. But I thought the narrative about their tough schedule despite their 2-6 record was just a little, well, over the top. UConn wasn't even discussed in these terms. Shows what the reality is, and how far the program has fallen. [/QUOTE]
